SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this grace wherein we STAND, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God . . . 17 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which RECEIVE abundance of GRACE and of the gift of RIGHTEOUSNESS shall REIGN IN LIFE by one, Jesus Christ . . . 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. BUT WHERE SIN ABOUNDED, GRACE DID MUCH MORE ABOUND: 21 that as SIN HATH REIGNED unto death, even so might GRACE REIGN through RIGHTEOUSNESS unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:1-2, 17, 20-21.
“But the PATH of the JUST (RIGHTEOUS) is like the LIGHT OF DAWN, That SHINES brighter and brighter until [it reaches its full strength and glory in] the PERFECT DAY” Proverbs 4:18 Amplified.
“He has made everything beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE purpose] in the HUMAN HEART [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 Amplified.
“. . . 4 what is MAN, that thou art MINDFUL of him? and the son of man, that thou VISITEST him? 5 For thou hast MADE him a little lower than the angels, and hast CROWNED HIM with GLORY and HONOUR. 6 Thou MADEST him to have DOMINION OVER THE WORKS OF THY HANDS; thou hast PUT ALL THINGS UNDER HIS FEET: 7 all sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; 8 the fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas . . .” Psalms 8:1-9.
“Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have MADE the earth, and CREATED man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded . . .” Isaiah 45:11-13.
“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to RECEIVE glory and honour and power: for thou hast CREATED all things, and for thy PLEASURE they are and were CREATED” Revelation 4:11.
“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have OBTAINED LIKE PRECIOUS FAITH with us through THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us ALL THINGS that pertain unto LIFE and GODLINESS, through the KNOWLEDGE of him that hath CALLED us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are GIVEN unto us exceeding great and PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:1-4.
REV. CHUKIE MORSI
THE GREATER ONE LIVES INSIDE YOU: HE’S FOR YOU AND WITH YOU!
“I THANK my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy LOVE and FAITH, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION of thy faith may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:4-6.
We ARE of God and not of the World where the enemy and cohorts of our FAITH tend to thrive about. And the greater one – our God in trinity dwells in us. And it’s as we communicate in and by faith, and in acknowledgement of His indwelling presence in us, of the good deeds done in us in Christ Jesus that we become effectual – productive and results oriented. Even as God did promise to be with us and to dwell in us according to the Holy writs as written:
“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another COMFORTER, that he may ABIDE WITH you for ever; 17 even the Spirit of TRUTH; whom the WORLD CANNOT receive, because it SEETH him not, neither KNOWETH him: but ye KNOW him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:16-17.
“Ye ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER is HE that is IN YOU, than he that is in the WORLD. 5 They ARE of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We ARE of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6.
There’s no more need to live in FEAR and be afraid, for in Christ Jesus, there is DOMINION over SIN and its EFFECTS: POVERTY, SICKNESS AND SPIRITUAL DEATH. This is made possible because of the GREATER one that lives IN you and WITH you, and causing you to be TRIUMPHANT, VICTORIOUS, OVERCOMER, MORE THAN CONQUERORS and in DOMINION in every place in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
“Now THANKS be unto God, which ALWAYS CAUSETH us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh MANIFEST the savour of his KNOWLEDGE by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14.
“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise TOOK PART OF THE SAME; that through DEATH he might DESTROY him that had the POWER of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through FEAR of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage” Hebrews 2:14-15.
“For God hath not GIVEN us the spirit of FEAR; but of POWER, and of LOVE, and of a SOUND MIND” 2 Timothy 1:7.
For God is IN you, He’s FOR you and He’s WITH you in everyway in Christ Jesus Stead, to REIGN and RULE in DOMINION over the dominion and limitations of sin and it’s effects that had grips over us, prior to our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
“For he hath MADE him to be SIN for us, who KNEW NO SIN; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God IN him” 2 Corinthians 5:21.
“For SIN shall NOT have DOMINION over you: for ye are NOT UNDER the law, but UNDER grace” Romans 6:14.
Therefore, take your stand in grace in Christ Jesus stead to thrive, colour your worlds and live a purposeful, meaningful and fulfilling life. For the GREATER ONE lives inside you. He’s FOR you and WITH you in everyway in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR US, who can be against us? . . . 37 Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that loved us.” Romans 8:31, 37.
” But thanks be to God, which GIVETH us the VICTORY through our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 15:57.
“For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.
“And they OVERCAME him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11.
“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God WITH US” Matthew 1:23.
“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall REIGN in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 21 that as sin hath REIGNED unto death, even so might grace REIGN through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17-21.
“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall REIGN on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.
“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath VISITED and REDEEMED his people . . . 74 that he would grant unto us,
that we being DELIVERED out of the hand of our ENEMIES might SERVE HIM WITHOUT FEAR, 75 in HOLINESS and RIGHTEOUSNESS before him, ALL THE DAYS OF OUR LIFE” Luke 1:68-75.

THE UNDERSTANDING FOR WISDOM: GET THE UNDERSTANDING IN ALL YOUR KNOWING!
“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with ALL thy getting GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.
When People FAILED badly in life and godliness – it’s not merely for not KNOWING – it’s for not UNDERSTANDING what they claimed to KNOW, and the PURPOSE and CONTEXT of a given cause to them. Hence, I have always said, and will always say again and again that:
“UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU CLAIM TO KNOW OR TO HAVE KNOWN IN ANY MATTER OF LIFE AND GODLINESS, YOU ARE NOT BETTER THAN THE IGNORANT”
Having an idea is good, UNDERSTANDING your idea is another ball game. I have seen the assumed rich fall from the penthouse glory to be a beggar and have seen also, the one time poverty stricken rise to grace from grass. When the assumed rich just landed into wealth by a mere knowledge born out of opportunities and zealousness without the understanding of the context on what the take on and know-how to sustain the position – it thus fails woefully; in same scenario, if a once poverty stricken person took to knowledge and know-how along with the understanding of the demand to such context, certainly such a person in that journey, will arrive there and live up to the demands to sustain it – and the likely challenges in life weather conditions to the set matter will become irrelevant too.
“While the EARTH remaineth, SEEDTIME and HARVEST, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and WINTER, and DAY and NIGHT shall not cease” Genesis 8:22.
Knowing your spouse is good, but if you don’t understand each other, there’s going to be a bomb explosion one day. That’s why a lack of the knowing and understanding of the purpose of a relationship leads to an abusive – abnormal use – relationship. So stride to both know and understand your spouse in your relationship day by day, so that you can keep blossoming, refreshing, rekindling and rejuvenating in all weathers of life.
Being educated and informed in a career or trade is good, but not understanding your career or trade will cause a problem to you and others probably one day. As the saying goes:
“A BAD WORKMAN QUARRELS WITH HIS TOOLS”
Being a Gospel Minister is a gracious privilege, but not understanding the context and etiquette of being a Shepherd in looking well over God’s heritage will make you a hypocrite, arrogant, erroneous and a wolf in sheep clothing. Instead of being the CHIEF SERVANT to SERVE, you become the CHIEF LORDSHIP over God’s heritage. And we know in God’s set plan, humility in His service breeds His exaltation anything otherwise, God despises and brings to a fall. Mark 10:35-45; Hebrews 5:7-9; Philippians 2:1-11; James 4:6-7, 10; 1 Peter 5:5-6.
To be in any Leadership and management in private, non-governmental or government or other public position of making decision is good, but if you lack the UNDERSTANDING for leadership and governance, you will destroy the people’s invested TIME, EFFORTS, MATERIAL and FINANCE under your watch. It takes INFORMED – knowledgeable and understandable – LEADERS, to LEAD and GOVERN with humane and empathy while the UNINFORMED – with insufficient knowledge and understanding – ends up to be RULERS – bossy, authoritarian, autocratic and emperor like. And I say to you today and now – WHICH ARE YOU – A LEADER or A RULER?
More so, a LACK of UNDERSTANDING toward a set PRINCIPLE, will cause you to always REACT, make excuses and blame others for your inadequacy and failure; It will cause you to not take the RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY for your actions – also, a lack of PURPOSEFUL UNDERSTANDING to achieving meaningful RESULTS.
UNDERSTANDING the PURPOSE of a thing, is the needed enabling grace in order to achieve in life under God meaningfully and to be fulfilled in any driven cause too. Also, a lack of ALL NEEDED UNDERSTANDING to a cause, makes people live a life without meaningful PURPOSE and FULFILMENT for themselves and others.
WISDOM equals to KNOWLEDGE plus UNDERSTANDING. And it’s based on PRINCIPLE; it’s scripturally GOOD and PROFITABLE in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead; and it’s a DEFENCE and life GIVING to one’s LIFE ESSENCE. I plead with you therefore to pursue after UNDERSTANDING in your about KNOWING for your own good. Understanding helps one to APPLY in context of the known thereby achieving meaningfully and purposefully in fulfillment of ones endeavour. WISDOM IS THE APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE WITH UNDERSTANDING.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“Wisdom is GOOD with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. 12 For wisdom is a DEFENCE, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom GIVETH life to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:11-12.
“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with ALL thy getting GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.
“Good UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE, TASKMASTER LIKE)” Proverbs 13:15 Emphasis Mine.
“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD (UNPRODUCTIVE, OBSCURED, SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD, MEAN)” Proverbs 21:16 Emphasis Mine.
“Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my PRAYERS; 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may GIVE unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the KNOWLEDGE of him: 18 the eyes of your UNDERSTANDING being enlightened; that ye may KNOW what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints . . .” Ephesians 1:15-23.

IT TAKES UNDERSTANDING TO PROFIT IN THE GRACE: GET THE UNDERSTANDING IN ALL YOUR KNOWING AND PASSION!
I have always said, and will always say: Until You UNDERSTAND whatever you claimed to KNOW or to have KNOWN in any matter of life and godliness, you are not better than the IGNORANT and the UNWISE – FOOL.
Having an idea is good, understanding your idea is another ball game. I have seen the assumed rich fall from the penthouse glory to be a beggar and have seen the one time poverty stricken rise to grace from grass. All because the assume rich just landed into wealth by a mere knowledge and zeal without understanding the take and know-how to sustain the position; while the once poverty stricken took to knowledge know-how along with understanding of the journey, arrives there, lives to sustain it, in spite of all challenges and changes of sphere, in life weather conditions.
Knowing your spouse is good, but if you don’t understand each other, there’s going to be a bomb explosion one day.
Being educated in a career or trade is good, but not understanding your career or trade will cause you a problem to yourself and to others probably one day.
Being a Gospel Minister is a gracious privilege. But not understanding the etiquette of being a Shepherd of looking well over God’s heritage will make you a hypocrite and wolf in sheep clothing.
Being a leader or in government or position of making decision is good, but if you lack the understanding for leadership and governance, you will destroy the RESOURCES of such position – PEOPLE, TIME, EFFORTS, MATERIAL and FINANCE under your watch.
More so, a lack of UNDERSTANDING will cause you to always REACT, make EXCUSES and BLAME others for your inadequacy; It will cause you not to take RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY for your actions; and a lack of PURPOSEFUL UNDERSTANDING to achieving meaningful RESULTS.
In UNDERSTANDING, the PURPOSE of a thing is ACHIEVE with GRACE. A lack of ALL NEEDED UNDERSTANDING makes people live a life without PURPOSE for themselves and others. It’s time to be PRINCIPLED by doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY through UNDERSTANDING in the GRACE wherein we stand to become all that God in Christ Jesus has done in us, is doing in us and through us by His WORD and the blessed HOLY SPIRIT of grace. Amen.
I know why the difference, the scriptures has an answer in all in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL UNDERSTANDING FOR WISDOM: GET THE UNDERSTANDING IN ALL YOUR KNOWING!
“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with ALL thy getting GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.
People fail in life and godliness, not merely for not KNOWING, but for not UNDERSTANDING what they claimed to KNOW, and the PURPOSE of a given cause to them. Hence, I have always said, and will always say:
“UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU CLAIM TO KNOW OR TO HAVE KNOWN IN ANY MATTER OF LIFE AND GODLINESS, YOU ARE NOT BETTER THAN THE IGNORANT”

“While the EARTH remaineth, SEEDTIME and HARVEST, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and WINTER, and DAY and NIGHT shall not cease” Genesis 8:22.
Knowing your spouse is good, but if you don’t understand each other, there’s going to be a bomb explosion one day. So stride to both know and understand your spouse in your relationship day by day, so that you blossom, refresh and rejuvenate in all weathers of life.
Being educated and informed in a career or trade is good, but not understanding your career or trade will cause a problem to you and others probably one day. As the saying goes:
“A BAD WORKMAN QUARRELS WITH HIS TOOLS”
Being a Gospel Minister is a gracious privilege, but not understanding the etiquette of being a Shepherd in looking well over God’s heritage will make you a hypocrite, arrogant and wolf in sheep clothing. Instead of being the CHIEF SERVANT to SERVE, you become the CHIEF LORDSHIP over God’s heritage. And we know in God’s set plan, humility in His service breeds His exaltation.

To be in any Leadership and management in private, non-governmental or government or other public position of making decision is good, but if you lack the UNDERSTANDING for leadership and governance, you will destroy the people’s invested TIME, EFFORTS, MATERIAL & FINANCE under your watch. INFORMED – knowledge and understanding – LEADERS, LEAD and GOVERN with humane and empathy while UNINFORMED – with insufficient knowledge and understanding – ends up to be RULERS, and are – bossy, authoritarian, autocratic and emperor like. WHICH ARE YOU – LEADER or RULER?
More so, a LACK of UNDERSTANDING geared through set principle, will cause you to always REACT, make excuses and blame others for your inadequacy and failure; It will cause you not to take RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY for your actions; and a lack of PURPOSEFUL UNDERSTANDING to achieving meaningful RESULTS.
UNDERSTANDING the PURPOSE of a thing, is the needed enabling grace in order to achieve meaningfully and be fulfilled in any driven cause. A lack of ALL NEEDED UNDERSTANDING makes people live a life without meaningful PURPOSE and FULFILMENT for themselves and others.
WISDOM equals to KNOWLEDGE plus UNDERSTANDING. And it’s based on PRINCIPLE; it’s GOOD and PROFITABLE; it’s a DEFENCE and life GIVING to one’s LIFE ESSENCE. Pursue after UNDERSTANDING in your KNOWING for your own good. Understanding helps one to APPLY the known to achieve meaningfully and purposefully for one’s life fulfillment. WISDOM IS THE APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE THROUGH UNDERSTANDING.
